Manage episode 500622920 series 2740117
🧓💊 The COMBINE-AF substudy offers important guidance for managing frail, elderly, VKA-experienced patients with atrial fibrillation.

Sensitivity analyses show apixaban & edoxaban may offer a safer bleeding profile.
These findings highlight the need for shared decision-making ⚖️ and integrated ABC pathway care ❤️ to balance prevention, safety, and patient preferences. #AFib #Cardiology #PrecisionMedicine
